Dalton Smith feels he can make an impact by defeating Subriel Matias
As Dalton Smith prepares for a WBC 140 lb title showdown against Subriel Matias this weekend in Brooklyn, Smith informs Sky Sports that he is confident he can outfight the Puerto Rican powerhouse, hoping for a stoppage victory if possible — though his main objective remains winning the bout above all else. “My goal is to be WBC world champion,” Smith, who has 13 stoppages in his unblemished 18-fight career, shared with Sky Sports. “I think I can make a strong impression and stop Matias, but regardless of the outcome, my priority is to win and ensure my hand is raised at the end,” Smith expressed. Smith (18-0, 13 KOs), hailing from Sheffield, has kept his record spotless throughout his career, which has predominantly taken place on the British boxing scene over the years. However, he will be stepping up to a higher level and fighting away from home for the first time in several years during this bout. He is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Mathieu Germain in April 2025.
